[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wrpymidhgtcaaaaasuvork5cyii.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': David Wain

The founder of the titular prison, the Warden is an eccentric, twisted [[TheWonka Willy Wonka expy]] that has a flair for the dramatic. Although very childish on first glance, the Warden actually seems to be quite brilliant, considering he built the prison almost singlehandedly, along with all of the wild, wacky, overly complicated contraptions inside.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Is this to Alice. He constantly tries flirt with her despite wanting nothing to do with him.
* BerserkButton: Killing any living thing in front of him is a really bad idea...
* BloodyHilarious: Gets this on many occasions such as have a giant pair of scissors being cut through his chest or having all of his bones taken out of his body.
* ButtMonkey: Zig-zagged. When it isn't Jared it tends to be him.
* ChildHater: The sight of one pure child makes makes him so angry that it results in him giving birth to a little, angry demon that represents his inner child. Given how much he hates his own childhood thanks to his abusive father, it's no wonder he gets angry, bitter, jealous and resentful towards the little cancer patient.
* ChildishToothGap: Has a noticeable gap between his front teeth and is a ManChild.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls him the Warden.
* FreudianExcuse: Good lord. Let's just say his dad put him through some rather....[[AbusiveParents questionable]] ordeals as a kid.
* HumiliationConga: He suffers two big ones in ''Best Friends Forever'' and ''Uh-Oh, It's Magic''.
* {{Jerkass}}: His treatment towards Jared is incredibly mean. He shows absolutely no respect towards him, Ccnstantly belittles him at every moment, shows that he doesn't really care about him, and at times he even injures him. [[UndyingLoyalty Jared, on the other hand, constantly stands on his side and stays loyal to him]].
* KarmaHoudini: When it comes to his horrendous treatment towards Jared or to the rest of the inmates, he rarely gets punished for it.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: That being said... there have been moments where [[LaserGuidedKarma karma hits him hard]].
** The entirety of "Best Friends Forever" is one long massive HumiliationConga for the Warden, his peers actively manipulate him (yes including [[ExtremeDoormat Jared]]) to do jobs that all end up with the Warden being heavily mutilated.
** In "Ghosts", when The Warden callously "pardons" all of the ghosts of the dead inmates in the afterlife, they immediately see right through his lies and all of them proceed to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge beat the crap out of him in revenge]].
** "Supefail" has Jared finally attacking the Warden after repeatedly taunting him by calling him a failure. Needless to say, the chain reaction of violence culminates to The Warden being crushed alive by one of his massive eye-towers.
** In "Uh Oh, It's Magic", he ends up in a similar position to Jared, where he is constantly humiliated and injured by his superiors, however unlike Jared, [[HumiliationConga The Warden has it much, much worse]].
** His constant flirtings towards Alice finally takes it's toll in "Special Needs", where the Warden in an attempt to yet again flirt with her, ends up with him being severely injured (such as having all of his bones ripped out of his body) and ends up in a bodycast.
** In "Jean & Paul & Beefy & Alice", The Warden becomes increasingly more frustrated when it turns out that Jared is actually better at golf than him. [[TheDogBitesBack Jared milks it for all it's worth, most notably when he decides to crush the Warden's hand and then whacks him in the crotch with a golf club upon finding out that he's cheating]].
* LackOfEmpathy: The only thing he's ever felt any guilt for is... breaking up the gay couple.
* LennonSpecs: He's rarely ever seen without those glasses, with the exception of the time he dressed as a luchadore for Superjail's fight club.
%%* LetsGetDangerous: Most notably during the Season One finale.%%ZCE
* MadGod: The Warden shows off almost god-like control over everything and anything within Superjail and its own "reality". He often bends reality to his own fanciful, psychotic whims, much to the misfortune of others.
* MadScientist: There is no other explanation for his Clone-a-majig, or the ten thousand other useless killing machines he's made.
* ManChild: Even lampshaded by the Mistress.
* MisterSeahorse: He literally gives birth to his murderous inner child.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Of both Willy Wonka and his voice actor David Wain, [[EpilepticTrees while some fans also believe]] he looks similar to the SS member Josef Mengele. Cane, gloves, haircut, gap between his teeth, and occasionally whistling a merry tune.
* PetTheDog: Has shown his kinder side from time to time.
** His treatment to all of his workers (sans Jared) is surprisingly kind, almost bordering on BenevolentBoss levels.
** In "Don't Be a Negaton", after seeing how stressed out Jared is, he invites D.L. Diamond to help relax him along with all of the workers, [[YankTheDogsChain it doesn't work when Jared finds out the truth about D.L.]]
** In "Vacation", he genuinely treats everyone to a vaction in the sky with no catches or schemes in mind.
** In "Uh Oh, It's Magic", he has a massive FriendshipMoment with Jared at the end, where they forgive each other for their behaviors and even team up to stop a riot.
* PsychopathicManchild: Enjoys constructing things that will (inadvertently) kill Superjail's inmates.
* RepressedMemories: [[spoiler: Implied to have repressed a lot of his abusive childhood]]
* RealityWarper: While he doesn't often change things or people other than himself, the Warden has expressed abilities that qualify him as this. It's implied he didn't always have these strange powers, and may only have them within Superjail itself. He also only ever seems to use it to [[MetaphoricMetamorphosis express himself]].
* TookALevelInDumbass: In season one, Warden was shown to be a wacky but still mostly competent. By season three however, the Warden's intelligence has dipped to an almost [[ManChild childlike level]] doing things such as: finding an imaginary creature inside his own jail or building an entire cruise ship for the prisoners to vacation on.
* TookALevelInKindness: ''Relatively'' speaking of course. Starting on season two, The Warden has becomre far less antagonistic than before, often being depicted as a [[TheDitz Ditzy]] ManChild rather than his almost insane and sadistic personality shown prior.
* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: [[spoiler: Warden gets one once he's knocked unconscious in "Superfail". It involves his father forcing him to [[ShootTheDog kill a puppy]].]]
** [[spoiler: There's another one in "Burn Stoolie Burn", though it's less openly grim. Child Warden wants a pony, but his father plans to turn all the ponies into glue.]]
** [[spoiler: His worst memory in "Superhell!"? His father forcing him to pull the lever to hang a group of inmates. Complete with matching purple executioners hood.]]
* TheWonka: A ''literal'' Wonka expy. The Warden is obviously completely insane, but '''nothing''' functions in Superjail without him -- so much so that the place collapses in a matter of minutes when he's taken by the Time Police.

[[folder:Jared]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xilcco4x8bajoczfeutkaaaaasuvork5cyii.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Teddy Cohn

The Warden's vertically challenged, neurotic, formerly alcoholic assistant. Actually, he seems to be a recovering offender of just about every addiction known to man, including smoking, drinking, sex, gambling, drugs, and more. Interestingly enough, Jared first arrived in the prison as an inmate, after formerly working for the Mafia.
----
* BeleagueredAssistant: Jared only sticks with The Warden because he owes him his job. And might be attracted to him.
* BerserkButton: Don't call him a failure, push him too far, or let him give in to the temptation of being drunk, or you'll soon be in trouble.
* BiTheWay: On one hand, has one of the show's few stable relationships, with Ultraprison assistant Charise. On the other hand, has incredibly detailed fantasies about gaining power over and making out with the Warden.
* BrokenBird: That is, if fifteen years of depression didn't give it away.
* ButtMonkey: Practically ''the'' Butt Monkey of the show. He can barely get a break without being yelled at or humiliated by his boss or Alice, beat up by inmates, or winding up succumbing to pressure and his addictions.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Later seasons have been showing his much more competent side. In "Superfail!", he manages to fight off an army of giant malicious mutants along with the Doctor. In "Uh Oh, It's Magic" he shows that he's master in magic and manages to stop a massive prison break using his magic with help from The Warden. Or in "Superstorm!", where he saves Charise's life, at the cost of being struck by lightning. [[MadeOfIron He survives though]].
* DependingOnTheArtist: Has either blue or brown eyes in the occasional moments when he's depicted with irises. It depends on the given colorist for an episode. However, [[RedEyesTakeWarning they tend to turn red]] when he's angered.
* DitzyGenius: Jared is supposed to be an intelligent man who knows his mathematics, but when trying to prove to everyone that Space Dust is a deadly substance in ''Negaton'', the first thing he does is [[TooDumbToLive snort up a large dosage of the dust himself.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: Although very rarely, Jared has lashed out on the Warden on three seperate occasions:
** In "Dream Machine", he teams up with all of the other workers and prisoners to stop the Warden when he goes mad with dream power.
** In ''Superfail'', the Warden taunts Jared by continuously calling him a [[BerserkButton failure]]. This gets to the point that Jared pushes him down a massive staircase, causing a brutally long chain-reaction of the Warden being beat up before eventually getting crushed by one of the eye-towers. Jared is at first, shocked on what he has done. But rather than helping him, Jared decides to run Superjail by himself despite the Warden being heavily injured.
** In ''Jean and Paul and Beefy and Alice'', the Warden tries to cheat on his and Jared's [[SeriousBusiness mini-golf game]]. Jared eventually catches onto this, he crushes the Warden's hand and then whacks his [[GroinAttack crotch]] with a golf club!
* DudeWheresMyRespect: He gets this treatment a lot from the Warden.
* EyepatchOfPower: He gets one in the dystopian future.
* FourFingeredHands: Is intended to have these, but sometimes an artist will goof and he'll have the standard five on each.
* IOweYouMyLife: Was actually among the first prisoners brought to Superjail, but was offered a position from the Warden, due to his analytical expertise.
* NervousWreck: Constantly freaks out and is paranoid over everything. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] though, considering how crazy and life threatening his job is.
* NoodleIncident: Jared's entire LIFE seems to be one giant Noodle Incident. All viewers know is that he's a recovering addict (to gambling, alcohol, cocaine, and food) and was once diagnosed with clinical depression.
* OffTheWagon: He falls off one wagon or another every few episodes - he's been revealed as TheGamblingAddict, TheAlcoholic...
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When angered or drugged, his irises can be seen as this color.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: possibly combined with MyBrainIsBig.
* TraumaCongaLine: Goes through this in the events of a few episodes throughout the show, and his flashbacks in "Hot Chick" indicate that his whole life before the jail was just one ''long'' line of misfortune and trauma.
* ThrowTheDogABone: While season one has Jared being the absolute [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]] of the whole show, seasons two and on has him faring much more better than previously.
* YankTheDogsChain: Basically sums up his whole relationship with Charise and the difficulties. He seems to finally find someone who understands him, but the two can't get together as she's dragged back to her own prison. They later attempt to keep in contact, but his attempt at getting her to help him in a disaster leads to the Mistress intercepting his call and deciding to conquer Superjail, demoting both him and the Warden to inmates in the process. The two then attempt to get their bosses to sleep together in order for the Warden to be given back power and for the jails to be united (so they themselves can get together), but ''that'' fails, double when [[spoiler: Alice]] sleeps with the Mistress instead and she departs from Superjail (taking Charise with her once more). Then in the season 3 finale, [[spoiler: Jared programmed his escape pod specifically to go to Ultraprison but was pushed out of it by Lord Stingray]].

[[folder:Alice]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7bnrsyl5l8tgdnyrbham67dzejxuclihixsjt5jpuiqjipizinrnsevgtg0psn05iiss8znjwdpyvk9tqoj40kxhgg9edft8ozilxsdzqos70xv8h0ouinntta20aaaaaelftksuqmcc.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Christy Karacas

The muscular, transsexual prison guard. The Warden has a crush on her, though regulations prevent them from dating... not that Alice would want to, anyway.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Is this to "Sweet Cheeks".
%%* ActionGirl: Practically the only one in the cast.%%ZCE - how is she an Action Girl?
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Regularly has her way with the violent inmates, whether they want her to or not.
* BadassNormal: While The Warden is a RealityWarper within Superjail, Jailbot is a WalkingArsenal and Jared has mastery in magic, all Alice has is [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower pure muscle power]] and the skill to use it.
* BiTheWay: Possibly, as at the end of "Stingstress", she remarks irritably that she'd forgotten how needy women could be (when it came to sex). Although most of the time, she's clearly got her eyes on Sweet Cheeks or any inmate she'd want.
* BoobsOfSteel: Not natural ones, though. She even clarifies "These are just for show".
* BrawnHilda: Though a slight variation in that she didn't always have her current appearance. She ranges from being the gruff and sadistic type to having a more motherly and feminine side. Most men fear her brutality, except if they're the Warden of course.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Has demonstrated feats of strength well beyond human limits. It helps that most of the inmates are MadeOfPlasticine.
* ChildHater: In the episode "Hot Chick", when the Hunter told Alice that she wanted the Twins, Alice misinterprets her as wanting to have children and replies with "Not me. I hate kids!" Note that this contradicts later episodes, where it is hinted that she wants to be a mother and shows a very caring side towards [[LittlestCancerPatient Cancer]].
* CoolShades: Triangular cat-eye ones. They're briefly removed in "Stingstress", but she conveniently has her eyes closed.
* DeadpanSnarker: She plays this part quite a bit, owing to her usually being blunt and to the point in her dialogue.
* FanDisservice: Often enough.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Her boobs have been shown to move unnaturally.
* {{Irony}}: Invoked in her backstory. She was in love with her old warden when she was "Big Al". She began transitioning as she felt she'd found her "true self" and could finally be together with him- only to discover that said warden was a gay man. The presentation of her backstory in that way has lead to [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation debate among fans]] if she truly identified as a woman or just transitioned to escape the stigma of being seen as gay.
* MamaBear: Had shades of this when Cancer was found in the prison, being shocked to discover a child had somehow gotten in and was prepared to murder whoever was responsible for it. When she found out Ash and the inmates were taking care of her and planning a birthday party, Alice joins in on the fun and gives the girl a makeover. [[spoiler: She's also moved to tears when Cancer dies.]]
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Masculine to Jared's Feminine.
* MsFanservice: Likes to think of herself as this and dress in revealing outfits from time to time, though only the Warden is pleased by what she wears.
* OneManArmy: Is the only guard in the whole facility, and has no problems keeping things in relative order.
* OpaqueLenses: The only time you can get a hint at her eyes is in the "Stingstress" example, or when a zombie version of her in the Warden's dream had a bit of her (red) eye revealed. Otherwise, they're entirely hidden.
* SunglassesAtNight: [[LimitedWardrobe And all the time]].
* SupremeChef: Combined with a touch of InstantExpert. Turns out she can cook on a gourmet level, despite no previous experience.
* {{Transgender}}: She's a trans woman. She herself [[LampshadeHanging remarks that she hasn't gotten her bulge removed]]. She considers her time as "Al" to have been a mere phase, and won't take anyone calling her a "dude". While Jared has mocked her at least twice on this topic, the Warden doesn't mind at all.

[[folder:Jailbot]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4his0tehh1ndkmurjivfaksrjbnnpnrf4ps1sqdqopnhqaaaaasuvork5cyii.png]]

The jail's DoAnythingRobot. He usually starts the episode off by capturing Jacknife.
----
* AxCrazy: Not only does he brutally torture Jacknife after capturing him, he'll also gladly destroy every other life form in his path to do so.
* CovertPervert: He may seem like an innocent, childish robot, but has been spotted ogling over photos of copy machines as if they were centerfolds, as well as trying to dry-hump a vending machine on two different occasions.
* EverythingIsAnIpodInTheFuture: While not from the future, his design seems to invoke this look.
* FriendToAllChildren: Kids seem to be his only soft spot (and even ''that'' has its limits).
* RobotBuddy: For the Warden.
* TheSpeechless: He just has his dot matrix face and beeping noises to communicate with.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Armed with a heavy arsenal of destructive weapons to obliterate anything (and anyone) that gets in his way.
* TransformingMecha: He can disguise himself as just about anything, from inanimate objects to human beings and animals.
* WalkingArmory: From [[DropTheHammer hammers]], to [[AnAxeToGrind axes]], and even [[DeathRay death rays]]. If it can kill, he's probably packing it.
* TheWorfEffect: He was practically invincible in season 1. Later season have him easily dispatched with one solid punch.

[[folder:The Doctor]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aaculoi7eyleaaaaaelftksuqmcc.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=]

A MadScientist with a German accent, he is in charge of Superjail's scientific and technological advancements (mostly horrifying hybrids). He gets a much more prominent role in Season 2.
----
* AscendedExtra: In Season 1 he only sporadically appears, he has a much bigger role in season 2, and he's a regular by season 3, hanging out with the other employees more often.
* BadassNormal: [[spoiler: In the season two finale, Alice and Jailbot are gone, and the Doctor, the Warden and Jared have been tied up by some of the prisoners left behind on the ship. The Doctor reveals that he was a former soldier, single-handedly kills the prisoner guarding them, takes his weapons and frees the others. They also fight a bunch of snake monsters, and when they run out of ammunition, the Doctor keeps killing the creatures with a knife, telling them to "Suck it up!"]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls him the Doctor.
* ForScience: Seems to be why he does most of the things he does.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: His glasses do all they can to hide any madness behind them.
* {{Gonk}}: Even more so than Alice and Jared.
* HerrDoktor: Quite obviously a German doctor.
* MixAndMatchCritters: His creations are a strange mixture of various employees, inmates, animals, and robotic parts.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lunch Ladies (Janice, Cookie, and others)]]
->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick

A group of cafeteria workers that are among the minor staff. They're obsessed with using anything and everything in their recipes, even unlucky humans that may cross their path.
----
* ADayInTheLimeLight: "Nightshift" shares this with the Vegetable Garden.
* BrawnHilda: They all have the same brawny large build, and are all rough and abrasive in attitude.
* ImAHumanitarian: Have no qualms about killing and using inmates in their dishes. The Grand Prix episode even shows they have a special room for collecting dead bodies for use in their cooking.
* OpaqueLenses: As with Alice, you never get really get a glimpse of their eyes behind the glasses, save for a bit in "Cold-Blooded" where Janice's eye can be somewhat seen behind her shattered glasses (after the serial killer stabs her).
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Janice (the leader) appears most often, and is usually killed or mutilated in some way. Taken UpToEleven in "Nightshift" where the entire cafeteria staff is slaughtered at the start, but later return and are shown to have even more reinforcements to fight the vegetable monsters.
[[/folder]]

!!Superjail Inmates

[[folder:Inmates (as a whole)]]
* AssholeVictim: ''Many'' of them honestly deserve their violent deaths.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Frequently portrayed as violent, easily agitated, and a loose sense of reality. They're not all like this though. Downplayed after the first two seasons, where they get just a little better than before.
* AscendedExtra: Combined with MauveShirt, this can happen to any of these guys when the writers favor particular designs. While an extended role sometimes means they'll be luckier in the bloodbath sequences, that's not always the case.
* TheChewToy: Constantly subjected to all sorts of mayhem and violence.
* EnemyMine: They often have to team up with the staff in order to defeat an even [[EvilerThanThou worse threat]]. How much this actually succeeds [[DependingOnTheWriter depends on the writer]].
* InstitutionalApparel: The standard orange jumpsuits.
* LivingProp: A good deal of them, justified by the fact that there are so many inmates and that most kind of have to exist as cannon fodder. If someone on the production team winds up taking a liking to certain ones, this trope winds up averted.
* PetTheDog: They have their moments of kindness.
** Pretty much any time they team up with the staff to defeat a bigger threat.
** In "Mr. Grumpy-Pants", they treat Cancer as if she's their own kid and are [[OutOfCharacterMoment upset when she finally passes]].
** Played extremely subtly in "Dream Machine". During the Warden's first nightmare, all the inmates brutally (and painfully) murder the staff -- except for [[ButtMonkey Jared]], who has his neck sliced.
* PunnyName: If any receive names, they tend to fall along this pattern.
* RedShirt: Often a subject to several violent experiments and mechanisms.
* [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Crooks]]: A number of them bear many tattoos, some of which were actual gang symbols that the writers and animators had studied and added in an attempt to make them look more realistic.
* ThoseTwoGuys: There's a duo of unimpressed guys that pop up every now and then. While they're not name-dropped and aren't as central as the main group of inmates through the later seasons, they tend to appear when there's an extended group.

[[folder:Jacknife]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d3pco9y5fxmiaaaaaelftksuqmcc.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Christy Karacas

The repeat offender criminal who almost always gets sent to Superjail for some crime he committed or chaos he caused [[note]](''almost always'' being the operative phrase here, as one episode had Jailbot accidentally take a serial killer back who was using Jacknife's face as a mask while Jacknife was chained to the wall, the season one finale where Superjail is shut down had Jacknife go to a real-world prison after trying to rob a bank, and the episode where Jailbot malfunctions had Jailbot actually take Jacknife out of Superjail and put him on the streets)[[/note]].
----
* AllMenArePerverts: Especially if they're Jacknife. He's been spotted as quite the lecher in a few of the opening sequences, although Jailbot will swiftly put a stop to it. He even tried to [[ILoveTheDead have his way with a corpse]] before Jailbot [[GroinAttack literally grabs him by the balls]].
* AxCrazy: He's clearly highly violent and unstable, and if bystanders don't fear him at first sight, they soon see what trouble he can be.
* BadassNormal: Holds this distinction for his status as Superjail's only repeat visitor. His ability to constantly escape and survive Superjail as well as the often brutal times Jailbot recaptures him singles him out above the other inmates.
* ButtMonkey: Jailbot usually lands him in a world of hurt when he re-captures him at the beginning of each episode.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Has been consistently depicted with these, whenever the animators choose to give him irises in reaction shots (such as him being startled).
* FreudianExcuse and AbusiveParents: The reason Jacknife is a criminal is because his father pretty much ruined his childhood by selling off his toys for booze and drugs. In the beginning of one episode, Jacknife sees a boy playing with toys in a sandbox and has a flashback of this horrible childhood event and begins crying and rushing into the sandbox so he can relive his childhood (until Jailbot drags him off to Superjail).
* ILoveTheDead: Was arrested one time for grave-robbing, and nearly having sex with a female corpse (fortunately, it was Jailbot disguised as a female corpse, so there's no {{Squick}} that happened there).
* IronButtMonkey: There currently hasn't been a single time in the series where Jacknife has died on-screen, regardless of how painful his re-capturement is. However, he was implied to be killed by the vengeful spirit of his father in "Ghosts", and a FunnyBackgroundEvent showed the two spirits continuing to fight throughout Limbo.
* KavorkaMan: Is apparently quite a ladies' man (at least to teenage girls on the show and some loony fans in the fandom), despite being an ugly, sleazy, drug-addicted, overly-tattooed psychopath.
* MadeOfIron: He's survived abuse that would easily kill a typical Superjail character (and pretty much ''any real life person'' for that matter).
* MesACrowd: Is cloned 10,000 times in "Oedipus Mess". His clones proceed to violently attack and kill each other, before attempting to escape the jail as he always does.
%%* OddCouple: With Jailbot.%%ZCE
* OhCrap: He ''always'' has a terrified reaction right before Jailbot captures him [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and for good reason]].
* PrisonEscapeArtist: He is imprisoned at the start, and escapes at the end, of every episode.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: His father was a fat, middle-aged, balding version of him. He also winds up having an illegitimate son who already bears tattoos and his hairstyle as an infant.
* TattooedCrook: He sports some tattoos on his arms and hands. Some of them tend to come and go, depending on who's drawing him for a shot.
* TheUnintelligible: Only speaks in various grunts and yells. This was a compromise made between the show creator, Christy Karacas, and Creator/CartoonNetwork. Originally, the entire series was supposed to have no dialogue in it (save for the occasional grunts, groans, screams, and walla), but Cartoon Network objected. Karacas decided to just make the cold openings with Jacknife committing a crime and getting caught by Jailbot dialogue-free (more or less).

[[folder:The Twins]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6jzusbaaaaaelftksuqmcc.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Richard Mather

CreepyTwins whose sole purpose appears to be to cause as much havoc as possible inside the jail for their own amusement, sabotaging everything the Warden cooks up. [[note]]While some episodes and interviews treat them as a separate division entirely from the staff or inmates, Christy Karacas has also at times lumped them in with the inmates and had them described as such in the Playboy tie-in comic (which was produced before season 3). In the pre-production stages of the show, their inmate status was more definitive.[[/note]]
----
* AlienBlood: [[spoiler: They're shown to have bright green blood.]]
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: [[spoiler: Unlike their father and Hunter, we don't really ever hear them communicate in any language other than standard English.]]
* BigOlUnibrow: And it runs in their family.
* AscendedExtra: They had their brief moments in Season One, but soon had their own focus episodes.
* BizarreAlienBiology: [[spoiler: Their blood is a luminescent green, for one.]]
* CreepyMonotone: Their default manner of speaking. They rarely show much emotional range, except when they're incredibly angered or frightened.
* CreepyTwins: Although the exact range of said creepiness depends on the episode.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Mixed with a bit of TwinBanter.
* FreudianExcuse: They may act smart-assed to their father in "Hot Chick", but they're actually terrified of him and of their elder brothers, who they've been bullied by since birth. It seems rather than violently conquer others or live up to their father's high standards, they'd rather just live at the jail and "play around" with others (even if it results in inmates' incredibly violent deaths).
%%* HumanAliens.
* HumiliationConga: Although they usually come off on top in their schemes, lying to their elder brothers about conquering Earth and attempting to keep up the lie just put them through one form of humiliation after the other throughout "The Trouble with Triples".
* ItAmusedMe: Their motivation for stirring up trouble in Superjail. It's all just a game to them.
* LackOfEmpathy: They just don't really care about anyone else but themselves. When they do actually interact with someone else, it's only to further their own goals and they show no concern for the other person.
** When they do actually show a brief interest in "friends" (ie: Jacknife's clones), they still are shown to only care about themselves and don't actually interact with the others, though they then act annoyed about their apparent friends not paying attention to ''them''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The two are represented by a techno beat when they appear. However, it is not used for every appearance, especially within episodes that have the two in an extended role (such as their focus episodes, in which the beat is only used in their initial scene [[note]]Although "Hot Chick" used it in both their first scene, as well as after they defeated Hunter[[/note]]). Some episodes also feature a different techno beat to introduce them, such as the skating sequence in "Combaticus".
* OutOfFocus: For a time in season 2, aside from their [[ADayInTheLimelight two focus episodes]]. They were also downplayed in the first half of season 3, but would have two other episodes centered around them.
* PacManFever: All the video games that they are shown playing have no better than 8-bit graphics.
* [[PowerCrystal Power Crystals]]: Used at points in season 3, especially in their costuming.
* SingleMindedTwins: It's very rare for them to act separately, or for one to differ in viewpoint and demeanor from his brother. The notable exception would be their budding situation.
* SpockSpeak: Mixed with the occasional SophisticatedAsHell.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Teleportation is their most frequently used superpower.
* ThinkTwins: It takes two strange minds as theirs to come up with all the chaos, after all.
* TricksterTwins: Their main purpose when they're in the jail. When they do rarely interact with others, they're not above using manipulation and tricks to try to get something out of it for themselves.
* [[TheUnfavourite The Unfavourites]]: They're seen as this in their fathers' eyes, when compared to their older brothers. [[spoiler: Still doesn't stop him from taking them home to become Supreme Overlords of his space empire, and didn't deter his previous attempt of trying to have Hunter bring them home.]]
* VocalEvolution: Their inflections sound a little less stilted after Season 1, as they become a more emotive.
* WonderTwinPowers: They do everything together and hate the idea of being separated. It's not wise to try to force them apart.

A bespectacled inmate and his bird. Or alternatively, a super-intelligent bird and his handler. The two of them are said to be at the top of the inmate food chain, with Bird being especially dangerous [[note]]This was evident in their season 1 Adult Swim profile where they were listed as "Bird and Gary", and it indicating that Bird was the boss of the two. Later seasons seem to indicate Gary being more in control.[[/note]]
----
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Bird can be seen smoking a miniature cigarette at times, and Gary himself has been seen on a smoke break or two.
* MauveShirt: Gary gets a lot more screentime in season 3, with Bird at his side as usual, even though he mostly serves to be a silent observer to the chaos and bloodbaths. [[spoiler: Well, aside from the twist in "Uh Oh, It's Magic"]]
* OrganAutonomy: [[spoiler:His vocal chords seem to possess a sort of...possessing effect. First with The Rat, and then Prison Peedee]].
* SinisterShades: His glasses completely obscure his eyes, and make him incredibly difficult to read. They even get a sinister glint in "Mr. Grumpy-Pants".
* TheStoic: Aside from being silent, Gary's facial expression really doesn't change too much and he barely shows much emotion. There are a few exceptions every now and then [[note]]Such as his horrified reaction to Alice's genitalia in "Vacation", seeing some traumatizing sex in "Stingstress", being depicted as happy to be hanging around Cancer in "Mr. Grumpy-Pants", and shown to be visibly delighted at the birth of Bird's human/bird hybrid baby in "Time-Police part 2"[[/note]].
* VocalDissonance: [[spoiler:Gary's thrown voice is shrieky, shrill, and loud, contrasting with his emotionless appearance.]]
* TheVoiceless: Gary hasn't made a single sound in all his appearances so far. [[spoiler: We later learn this is due to his tongue being cut out.]]
** SuddenlyVoiced: [[spoiler: As Prison Peedee in "Uh-Oh, It's Magic". Rendered permanently voiceless after the Warden cuts out his vocal chords.]]

[[folder:Jean-Baptiste Le Ghei and Paul Guaye (The Gay Inmates)]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poczqrxzxdqaaaabjru5erkjggg.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Paul (left) and Jean (right)]]
->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick (Jean), Chris [=McCulloch=] (Paul)

A recurring gay couple seen at the jail, and known initially as simply "The Gay Inmates" or "The Gays" (although the latter term is still used to describe them as a duo, such as in "Superjail! Grand Prix"). Paul is the more talkative and flamboyant of the two, while Jean tends to speak less and act more gruff.
----
* AscendedExtra: Went from background characters to being minor characters, having at least some role in most Season 2 episodes and even two DayInTheLimelight episodes (one for season 2, the other for season 3).
* BadassGay: Considering they used to be really deadly gang leaders, they know a thing or too about fighting and successful ways of killing.
* BuryYourGays: Averted, most of the time anyway. They usually manage to survive Superjail's bloodbaths.
** Exceptions include the Warden crushing them with his foot in "Dream Machine", both being slaughtered by Jailbot at the end of "Planet Radio", and Jean appearing to be massacred with the rest of the inmates at the start of "Cold-Blooded" (he's seen alive later in the episode, anyway). There's also a bit in "Mayhem Donor" where they seem to be attacked and mutilated by the organ monster in the shower, but [[NegativeContinuity are later seen elsewhere at the same time, alive and well]].
%%* CampGay: Paul.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Jean used to have a swastika tattoo depicted on top of his scalp, presumably to denote him as being from the batch of white supremacist inmates (and making his relationship with Paul look ironic). Some season 2 artists downplayed its appearance, and it was gone completely by season 3 [[note]]Although it's never been clarified either way if Standards and Practices had anything to do with this, there's speculation that the missing tattoo might be due to the fact that Jean's meant to be played more sympathetically in the later episodes.[[/note]]
* FreudianExcuse: We learn in "Gay Wedding" that Jean was imprisoned for stabbing his father, who seemed to be unaccepting of his orientation. When Jean and his father are put in the same room once more, he wastes no time in trying to finish the old man off. In contrast, Paul seemed to have a better relationship with his parents (and according to season 3, was only imprisoned due to a drug bust).
* GivenNameReveal: Not just their given names, but their surnames as well in "Gay Wedding".
* MeaningfulName: Their surnames play upon their orientation.
* NoBrows: Both of them lack eyebrows.
* NoNameGiven: They were nameless until "Gay Wedding". The previous episode, "Hot Chick", even simply has their names listed as "Gay" and "Gay" in their prison file. See Given Name Reveal.
* RetiredBadass: They used to be the leaders of the two deadliest gangs in Superjail, but stepped down when they fell for each other.
%%* StraightGay: Jean.
* TattooedCrook: Jean. Paul also has a few himself, although much less compared to how his lover's covered in them.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Originally simply functioned as this, although they've been fleshed out a little more over time.

[[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evuvhfecwhqaaaabjru5erkjggg.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=]
----
A soul-patched inmate with a New York accent. Seems to be a leader among the various inmates.
* AllMenArePerverts: Seen reading a lot of porn over the course of seasons 2 and 3.
* AllThereInTheScript: His name in seasons 2 and 3.
* AscendedExtra: Originally only appeared in "Superbar", but was upgraded to being a recurring inmate in seasons 2 and 3.
* DeadpanSnarker: Takes this role in quite the few season 3 episodes, with him having some sort of one-liner about the situation.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to some of the other inmates, he's one of the most level-headed characters in the show.
* TheLeader: When there's a scheme to escape, he's usually at the head of it.

[[quoteright:341:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/w9g3rxhdwgumgaaaabjru5erkjggg.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=]

An inmate who has extensive burns all over his body.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: This was the case with his name at first in season 1, with him being one of the rare named inmates but it never being spoken until the following season.
* FriendToAllChildren: He becomes instantly attached to Cancer.
* GivenNameReveal: Name is first shown in "Hot Chick" in the inmate files, and spoken aloud by Jean and Paul in "The Budding of the Warbuxx".
* ManChild: Of a far more innocent variety than The Warden. He loves ponies, playing with children, and is generally portrayed more vulnerably than anyone else in Superjail.
* MauveShirt: Becomes much more prominent in seasons 2 and 3.
* MeaningfulName: Ash, like black ash from fire. His surname is even later revealed to be "Firin".
* NoBrows: Due to the fact that his face is horribly burnt and deformed.
* PapaBear: When a fellow inmate wants to burn Cancer, he promptly shoves him into the fire.
* PlayingWithFire: Has the ability to control flames and even disappear in a flash of fire.
* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Gets one in "The Budding of the Warbuxx", where we learn his movie fear and see how he wound up disfigured. There's another in "Burn Stoolie Burn" which reveals that he's inadvertantly caused death and destruction to others due to his fire powers being triggered by intense emotions (especially happiness).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Movies. He has a fear of them due to having been left in a burning theater as a child.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He was heavily implied to be imprisoned for arson. The man likes his fire.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-lord_stingray_wiki_9928.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Eric Bauza

A supervillain who wound up stranded at the Superjail island after his headquarters was destroyed. He attempted to take over the jail, but was foiled and imprisoned as an inmate as punishment. He'll do all he can to try to upstage the Warden.
----
* ArchEnemy: To the Warden, and with being part of the jail, will take any chance he can to let it be known.
* CardCarryingVillain: It's his job, and he's proud of it.
* CoolPet: His pet Krynok (an anglerfish-like creature) named "Fang", who he kept with him after season 2.
* ExpressiveMask: His stingray-shaped helmet, which he never takes off.
* {{Expy}}: of [[Franchise/GIJoe Cobra Commander]], with [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers the Monarch's]] color scheme.
* TheLeader: If it's not Nicky acting in the role, he tends to pick up the part.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: His mouth tends to appear this way, filled with a ton of pointed sharp teeth. Sometimes though, [[DependingOnTheArtist his teeth appear more standard]].
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: He seems to still be wearing his supervillain uniform under his coverall.
* OverlyLongTongue: Sometimes depicted with this. As with his teeth, the exaggeration of this feature depends on the given animator or layout artist.

[[folder:Fatty]]
[[quoteright:306:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8fnoohipaq9ckaaaaasuvork5cyii.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick

A fat, lecherous inmate with a high voice. [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Gets killed a lot]].
----
* AnythingThatMoves: Has flirted and made sexual advances on both men and women, and even creatures within the jail that he thinks of as kids. Part of why Jared became Warden's assistant was to avoid this guy's interest in ''him'' as well.
* TheChewToy: Is often subjected to mutilation and humiliation, usually as consequence for him being a pervert or pissing off the others for different reasons.
* EyeScream: In "Ladies' Night" and "Superstorm!".
* FatBastard: Of the pathetic and obnoxious type, though he's also shown to be quite greedy with food.
* FreudianExcuse: In "Superhell", when he thinks of his worst memory to return Superjail to normal, it is implied that he was molested by a clown when he was a child.
* {{Gonk}}: Though a lot of the inmates can sport a degree of this, the artists do all they can to emphasize how gross and unappealing this particular one is in the visual department as well. Obese, balding, hairy, and sporting a large nose that he can be often seen picking.
* GroinAttack: Whether he's killed or not, he also tends to suffer this. In his very first appearance, he hits on Gary, causing Bird to [[GoryDiscretionShot rip out his testicles offscreen]].
** Alice also gives his groin a good pounding in "Terrorarium", after quickly figuring out what he'd stuffed inside his "mystery box" at the science fair.
** He gets slaughtered in "Mayhem Donor" via the Doctor's organ monster grabbing him by the genitals and pulling him through the shower drain.
** Jailbot stabs him in the crotch at the end of "Planet Radio", proceeding to slit and tear his body apart before moving on to kill other inmates.
* ManChild: Of a very unsettling variety.
* PaedoHunt: It's revealed that he's a pedophile in "Superjail Grand Prix".
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: He dies in many episodes as a running gag but always comes back in the next one, or even ''within'' the episode:
** Managed to die during "Combaticus" and was seen alive again a shot later in the crowd, and also in the same crowd stock footage that played ''during'' his death scene.
** Was decapitated in "Terrorarium", but returned in a later scene to obsess over Gary's dirty underwear.
** Was disemboweled and slit open in "Nightshift" when hungry inmates wanted to retrieve burgers from his guts. He later on winds up set on fire by Ash's breath during a banquent dinner, due to Ash being unable to handle the taste of the meal.
** Gets attacked by various sea creatures in "The Superjail Inquisitor". He dies again when he is ripped in half while using the toilet.

-> '''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=]

A Middle-Eastern inmate seen among the recurring batch.
----
* AllThereInTheScript: His script name was not known until a season 4 interview and Chris [=McCulloch=]'s own IMDB listing, in which he's simply referred to as "Turban". His name can also be seen as this [[http://radiospringy.tumblr.com/post/68967377273/here-are-some-superjail-storyboard-thumbnails in rough thumbnails]] for a season 3 storyboard.
* BadassBeard: Spots a real thick dark one (the length of which varies).
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Shown with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth a lot.
* PunnyName: Guess what he wears on his head?
* SunglassesAtNight: Never really spotted without his shades, though we do get to see his eyes briefly in his debut in "Superbar".

->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick

Alice's "boyfriend"- or more accurately, a particular inmate that she's been obsessed with since the events of "Superbar". He's often her unwilling slave and tormented by her.
----
* AscendedExtra: Originally only appeared in "Superbar" in season 1, but made more appearances in the following seasons, still being targeted by Alice.
* ADayInTheLimeLight: In the episode "Jean and Paul and Beefy and Alice".
* ButtMonkey: To Alice, and how.
* DrivenToSuicide: Infamously gnawed off his own head in his first appearance, to escape the idea of having to do "body shots" on Alice. [[NegativeContinuity Unfortunately for him, he got better]].
* LosingYourHead: [[RunningGag Most of his deaths involve him being crushed or decapitated in some gruesome manner]].
* TattooedCrook: Is covered in all sorts of tattoos, from his face to his body.
* VocalEvolution: Had a deeper voice in his first speaking appearance, but quickly changed to a somewhat higher rasp that was used for subsequent roles.

[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_skinny_1904.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=]

A severely emaciated, gray-skinned inmate that's constantly starving. He can't get much of a break.
----
* ADayInTheLimeLight: "Nightshift", his largest role in the series.
* ButtMonkey: Alice torments him with a sandwich in his very first appearance and makes him dress in drag. He still doesn't get the sandwich. In "Nightshift", he's made the test subject of an electric chair and tries and fails to get a taste of various foods.
* ImAHumanitarian: Doesn't mind trying to eat the mystery meat, as it's all food to him. He's then implied to have dismembered and eaten a cellmate in a season 3 cameo [[note]]The implied nature of the gag owes to the Williams Street Standards and Practices department hating blatant on-screen cannibalism, which always means the crew has to find a loophole if they want to show it.[[/note]]
* NothingButSkinAndBones: Very literally in his case.
* ThrowTheDogABone: He does manage to get food at least once, during the Grand Prix race courtesy of Turban driving a falafel truck.
* VocalEvolution: His voice had less of a groan to it in his first appearance, and was a bit softer-pitched.
* YankTheDogsChain: In Series Finale, The Superjail Six there is a Flashback Skinny(The starving Inmate) is revealed to be 66 Years old on his cake during his birthday however due The Events of the Superjail Six and the staff wanting the Warden to forget about his Six Failures Alice takes the cake away while Skinny is blowing out the candle making him starve to death and he never got to it.

[[folder:"Special Needs" Inmates]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Tunde Adebimpe (Leader), Chris [=McCulloch=] (Bagpipe)

A group of inmates that were disfigured through various accidents at the jail. They're first mentioned by Jean in "Sticky Discharge" and later appear in their own spotlight episode.
----
* ContinuityNod: One of them is actually an inmate from season 2's "Mayhem Donor", who had half his face ripped off (and then sewn on to Jared's). [[spoiler: The other half of his face is soon sliced off by Gary.]]
* NoNameGiven: A bunch of them are given their own pun-based names (based off their appearances), but the armless leader of the bunch never has his name spoken within the episode. It's [[AllThereInTheManual currently unknown if he has one]].
* [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Guys]] They gave up their violent ways and attempted to be this, in order to not repeat the tragedies that befell them before. As to be expected, it didn't go so well when they got re-introduced to the other inmates.
* HandicappedBadass: They can fight really well in spite of their injuries, although they're still outmatched by Alice.
* PunnyName: Among the group, there's "Guns" [[note]]an inmate with well-built arms, but shrunken legs and confined to a wheelchair[[/note]], "Bagpipe" [[note]]a man with several pipes lodged into his body[[/note]], and "Slim" [[note]]an inmate divided in half vertically and existing as only that half[[/note]].
* RedShirt: Very much so, as with the other inmates.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Guns dies with the rest of the bunch in their debut episode, but is notably brought out for another fight sequence in the episode afterwards.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: In their cameo appearance in "Sticky Discharge", Guns and another inmate looked the same while Slim was depicted as a balding, middle-aged man with long gray hair. In his formal debut, his design was modified to be a younger, blond man.

A ventriloquist's dummy that was used by the Warden for his magic act. However, the dummy soon seems to take a mind of his own [[spoiler: with a little bit of help from Gary and Bird. Was also formerly The Rat.]]
----
* AlliterativeName: Though usually just referred to as "Peedee", as well.
* DemonicDummy: [[spoiler: The show wants you to think he's this, [[{{Subversion}} before revealing that he's simply Bird's puppet]]. After The Rat loses Gary's vocal cords, though, Peedee plays this trope straight.]]
* NoIndoorVoice: Yells practically every line he speaks.
* OrganAutonomy: [[spoiler: Is brought back to life and powered by Gary's disembodied vocal cords, after they're separated from The Rat.]]
* {{Tuckerization}}: His name is based off one of the producers', Peedee Shindell. He's also visually modeled after him, down to the haircut.

[[caption-width-right:220:[[labelnote:Click here to see here appearance from season 3 and onward]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/r3h7ccs.png]][[/labelnote]]
->'''Voiced by''': Sally Donovan

Warden of Superjail's DistaffCounterpart Ultraprison, and the Warden's polar opposite. Female, efficient, and a real killjoy to hang around with.
----
* AllWomenAreLustful: Played with. Apparently the reason why she was so greedy, power-hungry, and dominating is because she never had anyone that could fulfill her sexual needs and please her.
* ArchEnemy: The Warden considers her to be his, even though [[LampshadeHanging he points out that they rarely get to see or speak to each other]].
* BadBoss: Whereas the Warden mostly treats Jared with tolerable contempt, Mistress just flat out abuses Charise (shown clearly in her second appearance, where she smacks Charise in the head with her riding crop for talking on the phone without permission).
* DefrostingIceQueen: Is much nicer at the end of "Stingstress" and in her cameo in "Oedipus Mess", though both Alice and the Warden just find it to be an annoyance.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls her the Mistress, even if she's technically a prison warden.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Usually has a short bob when in her standard clothing, but it winds up long after she becomes a hippie. Before that twist, it seemed to like to instantly get longer whenever she was in the mood for sex or a romantic moment.
* MostCommonSuperpower: She's very well-endowed, only being second to Alice's GagBoobs.
* MsFanservice: Aside from wearing her short shorts, she likes to wear dresses with rather plunging necklines (even as a hippie), and even wears a catsuit with a CleavageWindow at one point in "Stingstress".
* NiceHat: Usually seen wearing a pink cloche.
* OfficialCouple: With Bruce, as of "Superhell!".
* RichBitch: "Stingstress" implies at least twice that she's ''very'' well off. Considering she has so many spaceships and gadgets for her prison, it's no surprise.
* SexFaceTurn: Subverted: She turns into a hippie GranolaGirl in the 3rd season premiere and relinquishes the prison back to the Warden after [[spoiler: sleeping with Alice.]]
* SexIsLiberation: Thanks to [[spoiler: Alice having sex with her]], she states that she feels "free" and no longer in need of any men or anything but her prison, which is what gives her the above idea to become a hippie.
* WomenAreWiser: Definitely smarter than her male counterpart, the Warden, although she did also get easily fooled by Lord Stingray's claim to being a sea captain, and fall head over in heels in love with him at first sight.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Wears pink shorts and suspenders with her usual uniform.

Jared's DistaffCounterpart of Ultraprison, whom he fell for. [[spoiler: However, in season 4, she temporarily winds up falling for the Doctor after having believed Jared to be dead. Her relationship with Jared is also revealed to be complicated by the fact that she's not sexually active, while Jared longs for her to have sex with him.]]
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Seen this way with her nervous but optimistic personality, as well as being as unfortunate as Jared.
* BeehiveHairdo: As big as Jared's gargantuan head.
* FourFingeredHands: Though like her counterpart, she is also sometimes depicted with five on each.
* GlassesGirl: Unlike Jared, she has to wear a pair of large, lavender glasses.
* HairDecorations: Two pink bows.
* ShipperOnDeck: Played with and parodied. She promotes the idea of getting the Warden and the Mistress together, but it's only really out of the hope of getting to have a more secure relationship with Jared.

->'''Voiced by''': Melissa Brown ("Ladies' Night"), Chris [=McCulloch=] ("Stingstress")

Alice's SpearCounterpart in Ultraprison. The two seem to have a rivalry, constantly trying to one-up each other.
----
* BadassMustache: Sports this and some PermaStubble.
* TheBigGuy: The muscle of the Ultraprison staff. Amusingly, he was actually depicted as being much shorter in his first appearance, but the artists in "Stingstress" revised his design to have him as the tallest member of the staff, so he's also now the big guy in that sense.
* MythologyGag: His original voice actor was the first choice to voice ''Alice''. But this was averted in his return in season 3, as she'd retired [[note]]It's worth it to note that "Ladies' Night" originally aired in 2008, while "Stingstress" came four years later, production-wise.[[/note]]
* OfficialCouple: With The Mistress as of "Superhell!"
* StoutStrength: Is overweight and flabby compared to Alice's more muscular build, but he still can be brutally strong.
* {{Transgender}}: A trans man, to contrast Alice.

----
* ComputerVoice: Had an electronic overlay effect to her voice in season 1, but this was dropped in her season 3 appearance.
* FemBot: Pink and curvy in shape compared to Jailbot, and with a humanoid faceplate.
* RobotBuddy: For the Mistress.
* TransformingMecha: Can disguise herself as various objects, including a pink robotic stork in "Oedipus Mess".
* WalkingArmory: Shown to be just as deadly as Jailbot in her second appearance.
* WomenAreWiser: Is more advanced than Jailbot and intelligent, a fact which she passively-aggressively notes in her debut, with him being a "retro unit" and her being able to solve the problems that he can't.

[[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prison_hotties_837.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Kamala Sankaram and Sally Donovan ("Ladies' Night"), Sally Donovan ("Stingstress")

A group of scantily-clad, attractive female convicts housed at the jail. Contrary to their sophisticated appearances, they're all just as vulgar, violent, and ill-tempered as the men.
----
* FlatCharacter: Overlaps with LivingProp. Due to being incredibly minor characters, none of them have as much personality or notable traits as the male inmates, and exist to show that women can be just as raunchy.
* MostCommonSuperpower: They're all basically very well-endowed.
* OnlyOneFemaleMold: They all pretty much have the same small-waisted, large-breasted and shapely body type. Jacknife's female counterpart (see below) would seem to be the odd one out.
* RedShirt: However, they're this just about as much as their male counterparts.
* SassyBlackWoman: One is seen among the usual batch, most notably referring to the male inmates as "man-holes" and then mutilating Fatty for daring to leave the seat up.
* {{Stripperiffic}} InstitutionalApparel: They all wear matching blue bras and panties (or bikinis if you're feeling generous).
* [[TalkingToHimself Talking to Herself]]: The inmate roles seemed to be split between two women in their debut, but by the time they re-appeared, Sally Donovan was the sole actress to voice them.
* [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Crooks]]: A few of them sport tattoos, although the animators include them less often with these characters, or they come and go.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: While most of them have plausible hair colors, there are a few inmates that have pink or blue hair.

[[folder:Lady Jacknife]]
->'''Voiced by''': Sally Donovan

A female counterpart of Jacknife who seems to be just as unlucky and as criminal.

* BareYourMidriff: She wears a tank top instead of the plain T-shirt that Jacknife's known for.
* ButtMonkey: Is this with Nova.
* DistaffCounterpart: Is basically Jacknife with breasts, lipstick, and just looking a little more feminine.
* KillItWithFire: Melts two female bouncers down to ''nothing'' with a lighter in her debut.
* NoNameGiven: So far, has no official name differentiating her from the original Jacknife.
* TattooedCrook: As with her male counterpart.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Wears cut-off jean shorts, instead of full jeans like her male counterpart.
* TheUnintelligible: Following along the lines of the original.

[[folder:The Vegetable Garden]]
->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick

Superjail's vegetable garden is full of sentient veggies just wanting to be loved and eaten. But they're prone to jealousy and paranoia, as well as dying all too easily.
----
* ADayInTheLimeLight: "Nightshift" shares this with the Lunch Ladies.
* AnthropomorphicFood: Comprised of talking carrots, tomatoes, and so on. They're usually hanging around the garden, but have attempted to leave it (only to fail).
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: They become giant monsters in "Nightshift" and have to be fought off by the combined forces of the inmates and the lunch ladies.
* LetsMeetTheMeat: Or "Let's Meet The Talking Vegetables" in this case. They're aware they exist to be planted and eaten, and get distressed in the pilot when they hear that they won't go to use (and simply get mowed over by Jailbot).
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The entire last two minutes of "Nightshift" has them growing in size and causing chaos all around Superjail, killing thousands of inmates. [[DisproportionateRetribution All because no one wanted to eat them]].
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: With being just a bunch of vegetables, they're not even spared from the carnage. They wind up mowed down in their first appearance, get killed by giant weed monsters in their second, and are subject to more death and mutilation in subsequent roles.

[[folder:Combaticus]]
->'''Voiced by''': Richard Mather [[note]]For the line of the constellation Combaticus at the end, at least[[/note]]

A genetically-engineered superhuman clone of the Twins, who had amazing super-strength and agility.
----
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Lives on in the form of a constellation above the jail, and seems to like smiting flocks of birds.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Temporarily, due to a paradox created in "Time Police part 2". After the timeline is reset, however, his proper fate is sealed.]]
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Prefers fighting completely naked, but notably doesn't have any genitalia or nipples (although Karacas' own depiction on the season 1 poster artwork did have the latter feature).
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His genetic enhancements as a clone give him a vast amount of strength and speed, to where it takes little effort for him to tear an inmate apart. The only being that posed a challenge would seem to be Specimen 7 (due to its healing factor).
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He helps save the trapped and injured Twins (who manage to teleport away), but winds up instantly crushed to death himself by falling debris.]]
** [[spoiler: Technically sacrifices himself AGAIN when he destroys the Time Brain, seemingly resetting the timeline to the events before the "Time Police" plot (and so he goes back to his proper fate).]]
* MonochromaticEyes: He appears to have solid white eyes, but is clearly able to see through them. However, Christy Karacas' artwork for the season 1 poster and DVD depicts the eyes as a solid blue.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: As his first unlucky victim notes, he's a "Pipsqueak". Said yutz winds up dead a few seconds later.
* SpareBodyParts: Specifically crafted and born with four hearts to increase his speed and metabolism. He also has a ''twelve pack'' abdomen, and fourteen fingers and toes.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Is first briefly shown to have a teleportation power like the Twins, but prefers fighting physically.
* UltimateLifeForm: Seemingly so. Unfortunately for him, he's not entirely invulnerable and the MadeOfPlasticine rule still applies to him.
* TheVoiceless: Never utters a word when he's alive, except for grunting a little when he saves the Twins. However, [[spoiler: his constellation self does give the final spoken line of the episode.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Owing to him being a clone, he was technically a newborn but appeared to be a teenager and slightly younger than his genetic donors.

[[folder:D.L. Diamond, aka [[spoiler: Darryl "The Dying" Diamond]]]]
->'''Voiced by''': M. Wartella

A smooth-talking self-motivation speaker, who preaches the teachings of an alien species known as the Galactoids. He just also happens to be a wanted criminal and scam artist.
----
* AlliterativeName: Both his stage name of D.L. and his actual name, the latter revealed by Jared when he broadcasts his inmate file.
* ConMan: He manages to easily fool the Warden and all other inmates with his promises and charm.
* ChurchOfHappyology: Runs a cult designed to get rid of "Negatons" in people's bodies, and speaks of the power of the Galactoids. Jared's willing to prove it a scam. [[spoiler: Turns out, they're real.]]
* {{Gonk}}: With his makeup and wig on, he can pass for an average looking man. ''Without'' it, however? He's aging, bald, decrepit, and his face is basically falling apart.
* KarmaHoudini: He gets everyone to fall for his con, robs the jail while they're distracted and leaves with no one (besides Jared) suspecting a thing. This appears to be [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty subverted]] when [[spoiler:he and his assistants are abducted by the Galactoids, [[DoubleSubversion but they don't actually punish him]] ]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Visually parodies "Diamond" David Lee Roth, as well as including elements of Klaus Nomi.

->'''Voiced by''': Kamala Sankaram

A four-year-old who gets accidentally taken to Superjail. Her name is Cancer because the inmates of Superjail mistake the word "CANCER" on her bracelet for her name.
----
* BlackBeadEyes: Sports these types of eyes, as with other small children depicted.
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler: The sign of her impending death that everyone remains clueless to.]]
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: After two camoes in the second season, she finally makes an actual appearance in "Superhell!" where she returns as a LivingMemory and helps save Ash and all the inmates from the demons during the climax.]]
* CuteGhostGirl: [[spoiler: Seen as this in two cameos in the second season.]]
* HairDecorations: A butterfly hair clip ([[DependingOnTheArtist sometimes two of them]]).
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: [[spoiler: Gets weaker throughout her appearance and displays this.]]
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: Showing that even children aren't spared within the jail, though for her, it was not through any carnage but her own terminal illness. That, and her death being hastened by the boxes crushing her.]]
* LittlestCancerPatient: But nobody knows that she has the disease.
* MagicSkirt: Shown when Jailbot is taking her to the incinerator.
* MoralityPet: For most of the inmates, but especially Ash, [[spoiler: who practically mothered her until her death in "Mr. Grumpy-Pants" and is seen playing with her ghost during the carnage in "Ghosts" (as well as in a cameo in "Mayhem Donor").]]
* TheQuietOne: Speaks a grand total of 3 words onscreen before she croaks.
* YouthfulFreckles: Sports these.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Prison Mogul]]
->'''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=]

The Warden's late father, who also happened to run a prison.
----
* AbusiveParents: Every time he's been shown, he's either yelled at, ignored, or psychologically tortured little Warden.
* HighClassGlass: He sports a monocle, instead of glasses.
* PosthumousCharacter: What we know about this guy is all through flashbacks, photos, or Warden's own word.
* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler: Forced The Warden to kill a puppy with an axe, because he felt Warden being nice to it ruined its potential as a guard dog.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Gerald]]
->'''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=]

Seemingly the Jared of the Mogul's jail. Not much is known about him.
----
* ApatheticCitizens: Barely shows much reaction to his boss berating him, and when said boss dies, he simply congratulates and informs the child Warden that he'll now be taking his father's job.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: [[spoiler: Briefly appears in a cameo as one in the episode "Ghosts", and seems to be mutually frightened at the Warden falling in his grave.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: Only really seen in a flashback.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Time Police]]
->'''Voiced by''': Reggie Watts and Chris [=McCulloch=] ("Time-Police" [[note]] Watts voiced the one who was also the lead singer of their band, while [=McCulloch=] voiced his partner[[/note]]), Chris [=McCulloch=] and Stephen Warbrick ("Oedipus Mess")

A group of singing time/space continuum patrollers who detain offenders- and in the meantime, play in a rock and roll band.
----
* AutoTune: Used for their sung dialogue in their "Oedipus Mess" cameo.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: They were meant to parody the rock band Music/CheapTrick.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Are able to move between dimensions with the aid of their "time stick".
* TimePolice: As to be expected of them.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Time Court Judge]]
->'''Voiced by''': Reggie Watts

A disembodied, talking brain that rules the Time Court and decides the fate of the offenders.
----
* BrainInAJar: Or rather, on top of a pedestal.
* TheFaceless: Well, he is a brain, one with a mouth.
* TheJudge: A non-human example.
** JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: He declares the verdict and punishment of time criminals simply from knowing their thoughts. He might not kill them, but instead leaves them trapped and stranded in the time dimension for eternity.
* SinisterSilhouettes: He's cloaked in shadow and appears pitch black except for his mouth, although considering how the Time Court warps perception of color, he may just be that abstract outside of it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Stars N' Stripes]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=] ("Cook Out", "Rip Tide", The Commander, other misc. soldiers), Stephen Warbrick ("Blow Job"), Richard Mather ("Black Face"), Sally Donovan ("Peepers")

A military organization tasked with bringing down Lord Stingray and his terrorist army. Unfortunately for them, they're not so lucky or effective at it.
----
* {{Expy}}: They're all patterned after Franchise/GIJoe characters in some way. Cook Out appears to be Blowtorch, Blow Job is modeled after Tripwire (with his name seeming to be a parody of Snow Job's), Black Face is the equivalent of Snake Eyes, and Rip Tide is Torpedo. Peepers' inspiration isn't as discernable or said, though he may be a (much younger) counterpart to Dial-Tone or Breaker.
* EyeGlasses: Peepers' glasses act as these, as do the camera lenses on his helmet.
* KillItWithFire: Cook Out's specialty, to where he accidentally ''does'' kill their own commander with his carefree usage of the flamethrower.
* PunnyName: Their names are all puns on their specialties.
* RedShirt: The rest of the army was decimated, and the remaining bunch don't fare so well either.
* UnfortunateName: Said puns on the specialties lead to the camouflage expert being named "Black Face" (and being a black man, to boot) and the demolitions expert being named "Blow Job".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mistress Kilda and Catastro]]
->'''Voiced by''': Sally Donovan (Mistress Kilda), Unknown (Catastro)

Lord Stingray's allies in his crime syndicate. He considered Mistress Kilda his wife, although she also had a relationship with Catastro (his assistant) going at the same time.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: Possibly in Mistress Kilda's case, as her right arm seems to be nothing but a gauntlet of spikes and three claws from the elbow down.
* TheBaroness: Mistress Kilda. Fitting, considering her inspiration.
* CoDragons: To Lord Stingray
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Kilda.
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: Kilda wears a bunch of black and maroon eyeshadow to go along with her dark getup.
* {{Expy}}: Of The Baroness and Destro, from ''Franchise/GIJoe''. Their source characters were also romantically involved.
* TheFaceless: Catastro's face is concealed by a metal mask, which doesn't allow for the expressiveness that his basis had. We only really get to see his angry bulging eyes and a mouth of sharp teeth.
* FingerLickinEvil: Kilda does this after gouging out Black Face's eyes with her claws.
* SatelliteCharacter: Also act as this to Stingray. The little we know about them is detailed by him to the Warden, and they barely get to show much personality. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen The original intent was for them to have slightly bigger roles, but the limited airtime clashed with that]].
* TheUnintelligible: Catastro only grunts and growls in his brief appearance.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Catastro kind of vanishes shortly before the bloodbath in "Lord Stingray Crash Party". However, a death might have been implied after the Warden and inmates threw the head of a statue through the wall. He's still nowhere to be seen at all through the rest of the sequence.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hunter]]
->'''Voiced by''': Sally Donovan

A mysterious and completely naked alien woman that arrives at the jail, attempting to track down the Twins. [[spoiler: She's actually the family dog, sent by Ozzal in his first attempt at bringing them home.]]
----
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Winds up sealed inside her crystal, and is last seen being used as a piece of jewelry by Alice. She's set free and found by The Triplets during the climax of "The Superjail Inquisitor".]]
* BarbieDollAnatomy: She's completele without detail. Justified as the censors wouldn't allow it.
* BoobsOfSteel: As she took the form of the type of women that Jacknife fantasized about, she's greatly endowed.
* FemmeFatalons: The better to shred inmates apart with.
* GodivaHair: Her hair acts this way in some scenes, even though she has nothing to show underneath.
* MultipurposeTongue: Can stretch her tongue to reach into others' brains and probe their memories. But to other bystanders, it just looks like she's making out with her target.
* OneWomanArmy: Can rival Alice in her strength and brutality, to where the Warden considers making ''her'' a guard.
* PowerCrystal: Gifted to her by her master. She can morph with it, as well as use it to completely disable the Twins' powers (to make their escape more difficult). It also can be used to entrap others, by shrinking and storing them inside. [[spoiler: Not so lucky for her when she gets her own crystal's powers turned on her.]]
* TheUnintelligible: Sort of. She has a fluent grasp of her own alien language, but her English is limited and broken to where she's mostly grunting and yelling, with the only intelligible lines being ones such as "Where twins?" and "You, leader?".
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: Appears as a blue blob of goop and tentacles in her base form, but soon takes on the form of a nude woman. Her hair is also shown to morph when Alice tries to rip it, with it turning into a bunch of angered snakes.

[[folder:Ozzal]]
->'''Voiced by''': Richard Mather

The father of the Twins and Triplets, an overlord of a distant planet. He wants his youngest sons to come home, no matter which method he'll take in trying to get them back.
----
* AbusiveParents: Sends a highly-vicious and deadly pet on his youngest in an attempt to bring them back [[note]]though subverted as Hunter didn't maim them, but seal them in her crystal[[/note]], will flat-out abandon or neglect any children that can't impress him, encourages torture on his youngest in an attempt to have them "study". All with such a playful demeanor about it.
* AlienBlood: Green, following along the pattern of other aliens in the series.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: He's first heard speaking an odd alien language in "Hot Chick", but the rest of his appearances have him speak in English (likely for convenience and to not have to subtitle everything).
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Blue skin, pale blue sclerae and teeth.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks in this, but a bit more higher and nasal compared to his children. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Although in his first appearance, he also had an alien echo to his voice]].
* HealingFactor: Seen when he's stabbed and torn open. Despite his initial shock and pain, he thinks little of it and just uses his power to heal back up.
* LargeAndInCharge: Quite large, certainly in charge. His overall height seems to depend on the layout artists and animators, though his double chin and the fact that his early design was an overweight humanoid man would seem to suggest that he's also on the heavy side.
* SpockSpeak: Another way of easily identifying him as the Twins' father.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Played around with. The Twins have the same wavy blond hair as him, and have the same shape of nose. The Triplets avert this, being partly bald with straightened hair, as well as having ''no'' noses at all. But while all five of his children have more of a humanoid appearance, he's basically a giant floating blue ball with a head and wings. Regardless, they all share that BigOlUnibrow.
* TentacleRope: Used with a pair of tentacle arms, as well as a tentacle tail.
* {{Tuckerization}}: His name derives from Mike Lazzo, the vice president at Adult Swim.
* UnusualEars: Long, twisted blue earlobes.
* WingsDoNothing: They turn out to be too small for him to actually fly with, so they just flap and wave about.
* YourSizeMayVary: Throughout his appearances in "The Trouble with Triples", the animators varied between depicting him as a gigantic creature, or simply only a few heads larger than his sons.

->'''Voiced by''': Richard Mather

The Twins' older brothers, who spend their time conquering planets across the galaxy.
----
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: As their brothers and father speak it, so do they.
* BigBrotherBully: Shown to be physically abusive to the Twins, as well as mocking them at any given opportunity.
* BizarreAlienBiology: One Triplet is shown to vomit up a cluster of crystals. He proceeds to feed them to his brother, who sprays the liquified remains out through his (four) nipples.
* CreepyMonotone: To easily denote them as part of the family.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: They have this habit as well, although sometimes not ''all'' three of them speak or finish for the other.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Their mouths are filled with a lot of very huge, sharp teeth.
* TheNoseless: And rather jarring when put next to their father and brothers.
* ParentalFavoritism: Ozzal spoils these three, and considers them to be his favorite children. [[spoiler: Things change a little by the end of "The Trouble with Triples". [[ResetButton Or did they?]] ]]
* [[PowerCrystal Power Crystals]]: Small red ones worn on their necks. They also apparently store crystals within their bodies.
* RealityWarper: They have the power of turning the content of tabloids into reality, up to and including the Apocalypse, as seen in "The Superjail Inquisitor".
* RubberForeheadAliens: Look a little less "human" than their little brothers, what with their lack of noses and the red horn growths protruding from their skulls.
* SameSexTriplets: As their younger brothers are identical, so are they.
* SiblingRivalry: With the Twins, to the point of "brood wars" being a custom among their species.
* SiblingYinYang: The Triplets are brutal, physically strong, and goal-oriented (with their obsession of conquering). In contrast, the Twins don't care for "real work", are more laid-back, and rather physically weak (relying more on their powers). The Twins are also slender but with muscle tone, while the Triplets seem to lack any and are shown to be somewhat overweight.
* [[SingleMindedTwins Single Minded Triplets]]: Work in tandem with each other on anything, whether it's beating the Twins up or figuring out a way of cheating.
* StoutStrength: Even if they are a bit overweight, their speed and strength are enough for them to give their younger brothers a brutal thrashing and no chance to fight back (though considering how intimidated the Twins get around them, it's also a question of ''if'' they'd even try to defend themselves).
* SpareBodyParts: They have at least seven fingers on each hand.
* SpockSpeak: As with the rest of their family, although they do what they can to sound more sophisticated than their younger brothers.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: They have the ability to teleport as well, but with a red aura as an opposite to the Twins' green one.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Misc Inmates]]
* AscendedExtra: Combined with MauveShirt, this can happen to any of these guys when the writers favor particular designs. While an extended role sometimes means they'll be luckier in the bloodbath sequences, that's not always the case.
* InstitutionalApparel: The standard orange jumpsuits.
* LivingProp: A good deal of them, justified by the fact that there are so many inmates and that most kind of have to exist as cannon fodder. If someone on the production team winds up taking a liking to certain ones, this trope winds up averted.
* PunnyName: If any receive names, they tend to fall along this pattern.
* RedShirt: Often a subject to several violent experiments and mechanisms.
* [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Crooks]]: A number of them bear many tattoos, some of which were actual gang symbols that the writers and animators had studied and added in an attempt to make them look more realistic.
* ThoseTwoGuys: There's a duo of unimpressed guys that pop up every now and then. While they're not name-dropped and aren't as central as the main group of inmates through the later seasons, they tend to appear when there's an extended group.
[[/folder]]

* {{Expy}}: of [[GIJoe Cobra Commander]], with [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers the Monarch's]] color scheme.

* {{Expy}}: They're all patterned after GIJoe characters in some way. Cook Out appears to be Blowtorch, Blow Job is modeled after Tripwire (with his name seeming to be a parody of Snow Job's), Black Face is the equivalent of Snake Eyes, and Rip Tide is Torpedo.

* RealityWarper: While he doesn't often change things or people other than himself, the Warden has expressed abilities that qualify him as this. It's implied he didn't always have these strange powers, and may only have them within Superjail itself. He also only ever seems to use it to [[MetaphoricalMetamorphosis express himself]].

* RealityWarper: While he doesn't often change things or people other than himself, the Warden has expressed abilities that qualify him as this. It's implied he didn't always have these strange powers, and may only have them within Superjail itself. He also only ever seems to use it to express himself.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: The Warden is obviously completely insane, but ''nothing'' functions in Superjail without him -- so much so that the place collapses in a matter of minutes when he's taken by the Time Police.

* GreenEyes: Are among the few characters to actually have their eye color shown early on, and it goes along with their green power aura [[spoiler: and blood]].

* BadassNormal: While The Warden is a RealityWarper within Superjail, Jailbot is a WalkingArsenal and Jared has technical expertise and magic, all Alice has is [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower pure muscle power]] and the skill to use it.
